Brainstorm Cafe

not every morning can be a blistering brainstorm session (c) mark somple 2018

while the odds of placing a discipline in your sleep, meditation, work, exercise habits in place greatly increases your mental capacity, there are some days you wake up and your mind is in a complete fog where you can almost feel like your neurons and dendrites are still asleep, while you want to get moving. such as the type of morning. it isn’t that I don't’ have a lot of work and ideas – it Is that I simply got through the meditation/prayer, and am blank in the brain.

Maybe I had too many conference calls and was talking to too many people yesterday? when you deal with people, it is amazing how ideas your brain shifts from open to closed thinking mode. i swear much of the world works in a linear step by step plan versus, "uhm folks, we don't know, but here is how we find the best solution."

where did this idea of a risk free, failure free life come from?

the good news is that this phenomenon doesn’t happen all that often. if find it amazing that there are people that exclaim they are bored in a world where the technology and other tools allow you to create so much. granted, much like my writing here – most of what we create will suck – but it is a path to grow and try other new ideas with minimal cost if you fail.

a part of me just had a thought to go over to the university library, as I am curious about the historical impact upon humanity with inner fitness and healing. the more we work on this one sequence of prototypes, the more I truly like the ideas and solutions. I just don’t know how to transfer it to the normal home that can use it the most. it appears the most of society is running around after obligations and just getting through life.

while we are not in the 3rd world where some folks are truly just surviving -I call the 1st world chasing the debt-laden dream a different form of survival where people are trapped in a sort of gerbil wheel where the leaders and market makers are telling folks, “you need this to be happy” and sets off a bizarre chain of events where consumerism, make-up, image and “stuff” is given the highest weight for the value of life.

what can I say, I used to walk the same walk. today is very different and truthfully, feels odd when I think about where I was then and where I am walking today. hopefully, this little moment of writing missive will unlock some ideas and/or force me to work on the logistics of a few ideas as the 3d modeling would be a bad idea to try with a seemingly minimally working mind.

what Is the key to getting by these types of moments? simple, just do your best for this day, and keep working on the habits of discipline. I learned that if you do this, you won’t have many bad brainstorm sessions. if I just wait to be inspired to think about something…well, there is where If you don’t have the discipline in your life, you can easily slide into space where you keeps saying, “tomorrow, I will start tomorrow.”

if you do that, it is not hard to wake up one day and wonder where so much time has gone. you can see it in society with the various vices and habits we have to deal with.

care to join me for a coffee?
